Popular TV and Film Characters and their Watches
It’s interesting to see how important a role “time” plays in film and TV. The all too popular show: 24 uses Time as a centerpiece. James Bond is always short on time. As well as the characters from in Mission Impossible (both TV and film).
Lucky for you, this article will not self-destruct in five minutes. But it might make you want to burn after reading. *wink-wink*
Well, if you’ve ever been curious as to what the make of the watches famous character these characters are wearing feel free to checkout our shortlist below.
Michael Westen – Burn Notice
Michael Westen, the character from the popular USA Network show, wears a Chase-Durer Special Forces 1000XL UDT. Ironically enough, the Chase-Durer watch company was established a decade ago by a pair of Hollywood film producers Brandon and Marianne Chase.
Harold Crick – Stranger Than Fiction
Harold Crick, the seemingly mundane character, from the feature film Stranger Than Fiction, probably wears more watch than he can handle. The watch he brandishes is labeled a Timex Men’s Ironman Triathlon 42 Lap Combo Analog Digital Dress Watch product number T56371. It’s not just a sports watch, but a watch built for the Ironman race. Yeah, that’s more man than we ask for.
James Bond – Casino Royale
The prolific James Bond has a neverending set of watches he wears. But in the film Casino Royale, double-o seven sports an Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Big Size (45.5mm). Many fans complained that this watch didn’t come with the laser-cutting, grapling-hook features much like the line of watches from previous James Bond films. Despite, the watch was able to maintain its prime purpose, keeping Mr. Bond on track to escape the villians and save the day–just in a knick of time.
Jack Bauer – 24
In the heart-stopping Fox series 24, Jack Bauer wears a Rolex Submariner. However, in the second season he wears a completely different brand of watch, the Casio G-Shock DW6600. The Submariner is a well-known and popular Rolex watch. The model is also worn in the early Bond films.
Despite the variety of watches, they still stand the test of time.
